Baby On The Way Baby Proof Your Home In Just One Weekend

Baby On The Way Baby Proof Your Home In Just One Weekend

One of the most exciting times in a parent’s life is the time before a
baby’s arrival. Between anticipation and preparation time passes in an
instant, and before you know it you will be holding your little one in
your arms.
Although newborns are too small to get into too much trouble, in only
a few short months your child will be looking to explore the world
around them. Make sure your home is ready for the adventure, and baby
proofing is done in advance.
Over the course of a single weekend you can transform your home into a baby friendly safe zone, ready for discovery.

Getting Down To Have Look Around

Cupboards and corners are potential hazards, but are not the only
places baby can run into trouble. Cracks and crevices can trap and
scratch little fingers, and an exposed baseboard nail could lead to
unneeded tears and medical attention.
These problems can be avoided with minimal time and a little filler.
By bringing yourself down to baby level, you can easily get the low down
on your home’s toddler readiness.
Another down and dirty danger is electrical outlets.
If you have lots of cords in the home, consider using power strips to
keep the number of plugs needed to a minimum. These are easy to unplug
and replace with a cover when not needed, or when baby is at play.
Not only will this make things easy at the outlet, but it will also save you money by minimizing wasted energy.

Switch To Greener Cleaners And Keep It Up

Of course keeping chemical cleaners and cleaning supplies out of
reach is an important part of baby proofing your home, but what about
the freshly mopped kitchen floor?
Baby’s soft skin can easily pick up the chemical cocktail that is most traditional cleaning solutions. Switching to green cleaners is a safe choice for both your home and your family.
With green cleaning products, you won’t have to wait until baby is away or napping before chipping away at the daily chores.

Keep Baby In Bounds And Block Danger

Out
There is a contraption for every possible danger, but regardless of the measures taken, accidents can always happen.
Once you have baby proofed hazardous zones like bathrooms and
offices, you can add extra assurance by placing baby locks or latches on
the outside of doors. Baby gatescan block off areas of the home beyond the staircase.
You can use these safety gates to section off nearly any area, and portable gates are easily moved throughout the home.
Babies grow quickly, and sometimes we as parents feel unprepared for the phases and milestones that lay ahead.
Knowing your home is ready to go from newborn to toddler will give
the peace of mind needed to enjoy each moment that you share with baby
in your home.

be a great way to transition into a new normal.
